Nifty Traded Cautiously Ahead Of Q1 Earnings & NFP, But Respected 10DEMA Of 8290 (Fut); What's Next ?

Nifty Fut (July) closed at 8342.50 on Friday and overall, closed the Post-Brexit week (8355) almost flat.

Technically, looking ahead, sustaining below 8335 NF may again fall to 8290*-8230 and 8180-8110 & 8030-7920 area in the next few trading sessions.

On the other side, NF need to sustain above 8395-8415 for gaining more strength up to 8450-8510 and 8685-8785 in the short term.

As par monthly EW cycle, NF may be in the B Wave now and the corrective target may be around 7800-7600 unless and until, it closed above 8415 on a consecutive basis for at least 3 days.

Globally, there was no fresh scary "Brexit" news, but Italy banking crisis (NPL) and concern over China Yuan devaluation depressed the sentiment. China is basically devaluing the Yuan in the cover of "Brexit" and exporting its deflation all over the world and it seemed that no one is caring for that as of now (all are too much concerned about Brexit now). 

In UK, all eyes will be on the BOE (14-th July) and the market is expecting rate cut by 0.25% (present BOE rate 0.50%). It will be only in Aug'16, that BOE may be more dovish after studying the "Real Brexit"/uncertainty scenario and may increase the QE and keep the rate near zero. 

Incidentally, UK business secretary is now on a tour to India/UK/China/Japan/South Korea for a discussions regarding revised trade agreements and trading relation in the "Post Brexit" scenario.

Globally, all eyes will be on the next week's China data (CPI/Trade Balance/GDP/IIP), EURO Group Meetings, US Retail Sales/CPI. 

Yesterday, the much awaited June NFP (287 k) released in US and its way above of market expectation (175 k), but hourly earnings is below expectation at 0.1% (YOY:2.6%) and unemployment rate increased to 4.9% from 4.7% and most of the job gains are in the low paid hospitality and leisure sector.

The May NFP further revised down to 11k from 38k and with the latest June NFP of 287k (preliminary) two months average is now around 149k.

Overall, the 3 and 6 months revised NFP average is now at 147.33k & 171.5k  which is weaker than the 2015 average of 228k.

The wild swing in the May & June NFP despite the Verizon employee strike factor (38k in May), is confusing for the analysts and may also cast some doubts about the authenticity of the NFP data, because in June,there was high expectation of a FED rate hike and the May NFP was a great excuse for Yellen to stay at sidelines. Similarly, after Brexit referendum, there will be no question for a July/Sep rate hike and subsequently NFP jumped in June and the 6 months average is now hovering around 171.5k, just below the comfort level of FED(at 200k).

Thus going forward, FED may talk hawkish or dovish (cyclical verbal intervention to keep the USD in the desired level), but in reality, they may never hike again, even if Trump win the presidency. But, the never ending QQE may not be a real solution like "Brexit", which is more political in nature. Decades of QQE is also responsible for today's demand & supply mismatch dynamics of some of the commodities like Oil, Steel etc. 

In any way, S&P-500 Fut (SPF) at CMP 2120.75 rallied near all time high (2133) and going ahead, technically a break of above 2140 zone, it may further surge towards 2171-2193-2211-2230* & 2255-2290 area in the near to long term; otherwise it will come down again towards 2075-1982 level.

Some of the primary reasons behind rally in SPF may be:

1. Perpetual QQE by the central bankers and probability of FED will be on hold forever (at least till 2018, until cloud of Brexit uncertainty clears) and may even cut again to return to ZRIP.

2. "Blockbuster" June NFP report; but auto sales nos and some other economic indicators may be also indicating a probability of GDP contraction (recession) in the coming months in US.

3. Stock "Buy Back" theme amid lower treasury yields.

Some of the tailwinds may be:

1. "Brexit" uncertainty.

2. China jitters (Yuan devaluation & credit bubbles).

3. Banking crisis (NPL) in Italy.

4. Win of Presidency by Trump, who is highly unpredictable.

Domestically, our market will look into:

1. Q1FY17 result, starting with Indusind Bank on 11-th July and Infy on 15-th July.

2. Passage of GST in the forthcoming Parliament session starting from 18-th July. There is speculation that Govt may introduce the bill on the 1-st day itself and Cong is gradually softening its stance, because of fear of "political isolation", but may stick to its core demands of 18% GST rate along with a " legal ring fencing" mechanism, so that in future rate may not be increased abruptly and inclusion of petrol, diesel, alcohol, electricity and tobacco in the GST ambit along with a GST redressal authority. Sticking with these demands may help Cong for its apparent "Pro-People" (lower GST rate) image and not surrendering to the changed "Political reality" after recent set backs in Kerala & Assam election. But the overall result of the recent state elections may not help BJP also in the RS seats calculation and except Assam, it has not gained too much. On the other hand, regional political parties has more edge than the two main national party (Cong & BJP), which may bring more uncertainty in future.This time, Cong may provide direct or indirect support for passage of GST, because it may help it to recover from its present "obstructionist" image and actual implementation of GST by April'2017, may have a direct inflationary effect on our economy (at least initially as service tax will increase from present 15% to 18%+), which may also help Cong in the 2019 election. So, it will be very interesting to see that Govt (BJP & RSS) is also really serious to implement it before 2019 election on the pretext of various legislative regulations. Also, we may see some "Parliament logjam" because of various political issues and controversies by both BJP & Cong and some other regional political parties too. So, it may not be a smooth affair too for the passage of GST in the RS this time also.

3. Appointment of new RBI Gov. As par some reports, Govt may be zeroing on Subir Gokran.

4. Actual progress & distribution of monsoon.

5. Results of PSBS in Q1 for an idea about their NPLS trend (dilemma of "Twin Balance sheets" challenges in India).

Among all these volatile news flow, technicals may guide us a great----stay with us.
